Smallest Permissible Bend Radii
VDE 0298, part 3, stipulates minimum per-
missible bend radii of leads. In the following
table, the minimum bend radii are shown
for fixed and mobile flexible leads at various
rated voltages and outside diameters.
Why tinned multistrand copper wires?
If bright-soft copper stranded wires are
exposed to temperatures > 90°C, this can
result in discoloration of the copper and an
impairment of its soldering properties. Re-
actions between the copper and the insu-
lating material may also occur which have a
deleterious eect on the mechanical prop-
erties of the flexible leads.
To avoid problems of this kind, we recom-
mend using our tinned multistrand wires.
These are suitable for continuous use at
temperatures up to +150 °C with silicone
insulation.
Resistance of conductor at 20°C for class
5 Cu conductors
The following table shows the conductor re-
sistance for fine-stranded copper wires with
bare individual strands at 20°C in relation
to the nominal cross-section according to
DIN VDE 0295 (IEC 60228).
UL Approval
A number of our multistrand wires have a
UL approval. This means that these articles
are approved as “Test Probe Wire”. UL-
approved wires are indicated in the cata-
logue with the .
